Some audience have witnessed similarities between 'La Brea' and the ABC series 'Lost,' however is 'La Brea' meant to reflect the early 2000s drama?
When promos for the NBC sci-fi drama La Brea hit the airwaves, Lost lovers had a good time. Some hoped the collection would fill the Lost-sized hollow of their center. Others were just satisfied for a science fiction collection on primetime tv again. It's onerous to not surprise if La Brea is meant to be NBC's resolution to the ABC powerhouse that Lost once was.
But is La Brea in point of fact the new Lost? Both displays are science fiction and have ensemble casts. Both also depend on audience to suspend their disbelief regarding life-altering occasions. But what about the presentations' respective storylines?
What is 'La Brea' about?
A huge sinkhole opens up in Los Angeles at the La Brea Tar Pits (hence, the name of the display), pulling in loads of other people, constructions, and automobiles. Instead of everyone in an instant dying, then again, they resurface mostly unharmed in a prehistoric global. They have to figure out how to survive and get out whilst looking for their family members.
Elsewhere, out of doors of the La Brea Tar Pits sinkhole and back in the "real" international, Homeland Security investigates what happened. It turns out, there may be another similarly large sinkhole on the different facet of the world. La Brea is a sci-fi mystery at its core. And, like the sinkhole, it sucked in thousands and thousands of viewers from the start.

— Amanda (@aeostuni) October 26, 2021Is 'La Brea' supposed to be like 'Lost'?
La Brea is full of the thriller and intrigue that Lost introduced. But when it comes down to it, it's almost like comparing apples and oranges. Lost is ready a aircraft crash on a mysterious island that is not on any maps. The island can heal the ill and it makes time go back and forth possible. Oh yeah, and there is a secret analysis company that units up its house base on the island to study it, all while seeking to reside at peace with its native population.
La Brea is very similar to Lost in that reputedly on a regular basis individuals are part of an sudden disaster that thrusts them into a new global. But the layers and layers of mystery in Lost are arduous to recreate. If not anything else, La Brea is a respectable consolation prize for those that still need some more or less Lost reboot.
When you order LOST on wish, #LABREA is what shows up a month after you forgot you ordered it.
— 💩 s̾i̾r̾ l̾u̾r̾p̾e̾e̾ 💩 (@Lurpee) October 26, 2021There is a cheeky little line from one among the characters in La Brea that means they are caught "in an episode of Lost." And showrunner David Appelbaum instructed CinemaBlend that it was once intentional. He wanted to come back out the gate addressing the "inevitable" comparisons that would arise from enthusiasts and critics alike. He assured the outlet that La Brea stands by itself.
"We all love Lost, and [La Brea is] definitely inspired by it, but we also want to bring the show in completely new directions," David mentioned. "New characters, new mysteries, a new world. But, you know, it was just kind of getting ahead of it and having fun. Because the show is a lot of things — it's action-adventure, it's about emotion — but we also want to bring a lot of humor to it as well."
Watch La Brea on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EST on NBC.
